Cylinder

Lubrication

It is not necessary

remove the fuel injectors from the cylinder head

squirt light lubricating oil into the

cylinders

for

the few months

normal lay-up. However, if you anticipate a longer lay-up period

(12

months

or.more),

recommended that this procedure be performed. The light oil in the cylinders will prevent the

pistons rings from sticking

the cylinder walls. Make sure you have replacements for the injector and return

line sealing washers.

Spares

Lay-up time provides a good opportunity

inspect your Westerbeke engine

see if external

ITems

such

drive belts

coolant hoses need replacement. Check your basic spares kit and order items not on hand,

or replace those items used during the lay-up, such as filters and zinc anodes.

Batteries

If batteries are

left on board during the lay-up period, make sure they are fully charged, and that they

will remain that way,

prevent them from freezing. If there exists any

doubtthat

the batteries will not remain

fully charged

that they will be subjected

severe environmental condITions, remove the batteries and

store them

In a warmer, more compatible environment.

Recommissioning

The recommissioning

your Westerbeke engine after a seasonal lay-up generally follows the same proce-

dures as those presented in the

"PREPARATIONS

FOR

STARTING" section, page

22,

regarding preparation

for

starting and normal starts. However, some of the lay-up procedures will need

be counteracted before

starting the engine.

Remove the oil-soaked cloths from the intake manifold and from the through-hull exhaust port.

Remove the sea water pump cover and gasket and discard the old gasket. Install the sea water pump im-

peller removed during lay-up (or a replacement, if required). Install the sea water pump cover

WITh

a new

cover gasket.

Wear rubber gloves, a rubber apron, and eye protection when servicing batteries.

Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen, a highly-explosive gas, which can be ignited by electrical

arcing

a lighted cigarette, cigar,

pipe. Do not smoke

allow an open flame near the bat-

tery while someone is servicing

it.

Shut off all electrical equipment in the vicinity

prevent

electrical

arCing during servicing.

Reinstall the batteries that were removed during the lay-up, and reconnect the battery cables, making sure

the terminals are clean and that the connections are tight. Check
